Working with sound sculpture, DIY electronics and human-machine systems, she explores our relationship to technology through sonic materiality, live audio visual and browser based work.

HELEN PAILING
Helen Pailing is currently Project Director of VARC, the Visual Arts in Rural Communities network. The network was set up in 2000 and funds and manages an on-going programme of residencies for artists. Through its activities, VARC aims to offer opportunities to artists to develop their work in response to the rural landscape and its community.
